Jurgen Klopp surprised by Liverpool’s early season form
Jurgen Klopp said Monday that he has been blown away by the standards Liverpool have set at the start of their Premier League title defence after coming from behind to beat Arsenal 3-1 at Anfield. Goals from Sadio Mane, Andy Robertson and Diogo Jota saw off the Gunners, who had won their opening two league games of the season. While Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and now Arsenal have all lost in the opening three weeks of the new campaign, Liverpool have taken maximum points to lay down an early marker that they remain the team to beat in the Premier League this season. “It’s really early in the season and with this performance it is absolutely ‘wow’,” said coach Klopp. “From the first second, (it was) dominant against a team in form. We had to be careful like hell ...

Report: Man Utd handed transfer boost, 20-goal star trying to force his move to Old Trafford
Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United this summer. According to Dagbladet, the player is now trying to force his move to Old Trafford. Manchester United have not been able to agree on a fee with the German club and Sancho missed the German Super Cup game against Bayern Munich earlier today. There were reports that the winger missed out due to illness but Dagbladet claim that Sancho wants the move to happen and the player’s camp will now look to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds in the next few days. Dortmund had asked United to agree to the asking price by the 10th of August. Selling Sancho now would be a mistake for them. They won’t have the necessary time to replace a key player like Sancho....
Lyon set deadline for Memphis Depay’s departure
Olympique Lyonnais have set Barcelona an ultimatum on signing their forward Memphis Depay this transfer window, as per Diario AS. The report cites how Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has told French media outlet Telefoot: “I think I will tell the players that all those who did not leave on Friday will remain at Lyon. As of Friday there will be no more departures.” It is reported how he is referencing both Memphis and midfielder Houssem Aouar – who has been linked with a switch to Arsenal. The Blaugrana are keen on a move for Memphis but it remains unlikely that they will be able to finance a deal, despite clearing Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic and Luis Suarez from their wage bill. Memphis, 26, netted 11 goals across his last 18 matches for the Dutch national side and has also developed into ...
Report confirms massive Manchester United bid for 20-goal star
Manchester United have had a bid rejected for the Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. According to Sky Sports, the offer was worth around £73 million, rising up to £91.3 million with add ons. Apparently, the German club value the player at £108 million and they’re not willing to lower their asking price. Initially, Dortmund claimed that they would only sell the player if there is an acceptable offer on the table by the 10th of August. That deadline has now passed and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to sell the winger so late in the window. Even if Dortmund receive their asking price, they will struggle to find a proper replacement for a world-class player like Jadon Sancho with just a few days left in the transfer window. Ideally, the German outfit should look to hold ...
Report: Man Utd in advanced talks for 22-yr-old, attacker prefers to join them
Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic has been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer. The Serbian has not managed to hold down a regular starting berth at the club since his move to Santiago Bernabeu and he needs a move away in order to play regularly. According to AS, Manchester United have been negotiating with Real Madrid and the player’s agent today and discussions are thought to be at an advanced stage. Roma and Inter Milan are keen on signing the 22-year-old striker as well but he prefers a move to Manchester United. As per AS, the Premier League giants are best placed to sign the Serbian. Before his move to La Liga, Jovic was one of the best young forwards in the world and he was outstanding in the Bundesliga. If he can regain his form and confidence, he could be a quality op...
Report: Manchester United identify top two targets to strengthen the striker’s position
Manchester United have earmarked Edinson Cavani and Luka Jovic as potential targets to strengthen the striker’s position, Gianluca di Marzio reports. The Red Devils have made just one signing this summer in the form of Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek from Ajax. With just a week before the international transfer deadline, the club are said to be looking for attacking reinforcements and Gianluca di Marzio claims that they want a new striker. Edinson Cavani, who is currently a free-agent after parting ways with Paris Saint-Germain, is said to be an option for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side. Meanwhile, Luka Jovic, who has experienced a difficult spell with Real Madrid, is another player under consideration for the striker’s position. Over the past year, United have largely depended on Anthony ...
Reliable journalist confirms 27-yr-old star has agreed to join Manchester United
Manchester United are working to finalise a move for Alex Telles before the window closes. According to Mohamed Bouhafsi, the Old Trafford outfit have now submitted a second bid for the 27-year-old left back. It will be interesting to see if Porto are willing to accept the offer. Telles would be a superb signing for Solskjaer this summer. He would add a new dimension to the United attack along with his defensive qualities. The Brazilian is a lot better than Shaw going forward. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his powers right now and a step up to the Premier League would be ideal. He could make an instant impact for Manchester United. Bouhafsi claims that Telles has agreed to join Manchester United and the two clubs are discussing the fee now. Manchester United will be hoping to wrap up t...
Report: Manchester United believe they can sign Brazilian defender with their opening bid
Manchester United have made a formal bid to sign left-back Alex Telles from Porto, The Guardian reports. The Brazil international has been identified as the club’s prime target to strengthen the left-back position this summer. It was recently reported that he had agreed to personal terms with United and the club have now made an opening bid worth £12m to sign him. Telles has a £36.7m release clause on his contract, but it appears that Porto are willing to accept a reduced fee with his deal expiring in nine months’ time. The Primeira outfit are said to value him at around £18m, but the Red Devils believe they can finalise the deal close to their opening bid for his services. Telles registered 13 goals and 12 assists for Porto last term and he should provide better attacking threat...
Manchester United reluctant to pay up for Alex Telles
Manchester United are reportedly struggling to see eye to eye with FC Porto over a transfer fee for Alex Telles as negotiations trudge on. The superb Brazilian is believed to be up for the transfer but a lack of progress has seen fans lose hope over the deal. Fans recognise what Telles can bring to United and are keen to see his attacking prowess at Old Trafford. However, until both the clubs can agree on a fee then it’s likely the deal will fall through in a similar way to Sergio Reguilon. It’s believed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a third left-back in mind should such a scenario occur but supporters will not be pleased with missing out on yet another player. According to Forbes, the Red Devils are trying to haggle with Porto because they’re not happy to spend £18m on a player whose contract ...
Report: Man United make approach for £40m-rated forward, player identified as Sancho alternative
According to The Telegraph, Manchester United have enquired over the availability of Watford forward Ismaila Sarr. The Red Devils have made just one signing in Donny van de Beek from Ajax this summer, but they could make more additions to the squad before the transfer deadline. It is widely known that they are interested in signing Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund to bolster the right-wing spot, but so far, a deal has not materialised due to the hefty £108 price tag. The club have another one week before the international transfer window closes and it remains to be seen whether they can convince Dortmund to accept a lesser fee for the England international. Otherwise, the Red Devils will have the opportunity to trade players with EFL clubs until October 16 and The Telegraph claims ...
Report: Man Utd looking to raid top four rivals, contact made with 29-yr-old’s representatives
Manchester United are thought to be keen on signing the Chelsea midfielder N’golo Kante. According to reports (h/t Star), the Red Devils have made contact with the midfielder’s representatives already. It will be interesting to see if they can convince Chelsea to sell the top class midfielder before the window closes. Kante has been one of the best players at Chelsea ever since he joined the London club and losing him could be a blow for the Blues this season. However, the London club have been linked with a move for Declan Rice and if they end up signing the West Ham United midfielder, Kante might struggle to get regular game time. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea are willing to strengthen their rivals by selling the 29-year-old to them in the coming weeks. Kante would be an improvem...
